"Tsk, tsk, if the third prince takes out Ning Ze's 'corpse' out of anger and decapitates him, you will be out of luck."

"If you want to take off, you can take off. The only blame is that Ning Ze's aura as the protagonist is not strong enough to turn his misfortune into good, but it can't be blamed on me."

"..."

When Ning Ze opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in a ruined temple. He was not dead?

Looking at the well-bandaged wounds on his body and moving his limbs that were now able to move freely, Ning Ze's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell from his eyes. He felt ashamed and regretful, but more importantly, he was moved.

It turned out that Ning Xiao did not want to kill him, but to save him. His brother saved him regardless of the danger, and saved the son of his mother-killing enemy.

So, in the elder brother’s heart, he is still treated as a sibling, right?

Wiping away his tears, Ning Ze stood up and looked for traces of Ning Xiao. He had a lot to say, and he believed that what he said at this moment would be heard by his brother.

But he turned the ruined temple upside down and couldn't find Ning Xiao. He searched everywhere for a while, but there was still no trace. It seemed that Ning Xiao had gone far away.

Ning Ze had no choice but to find a way to contact the prince first, tell him about his betrayal, find out the traitor in time, and eliminate hidden dangers.

With the secret help of Ning Xiao, the brothers who had contacted Ning Ze successfully escaped from the Fog Kingdom, traveled all the way, and got in touch with Qingcheng.

The prince received the news that Ning Ze had been betrayed by a spy. After some investigation, he targeted the chamberlain who had to go home every month.

After some interrogation, the chamberlain confessed to the second prince, saying that the second prince ordered him to do everything in order to use the Fog Kingdom to shake the prince's position so that he could replace him.

The prince didn't believe it, but after the servant said it, he bit his tongue and committed suicide, proving with his death that what he said was all the truth, which made the prince take a deep breath.

It happened that the news of Ning Ze's escape came, and after some planning, the prince made a painful decision.

Therefore, the second prince, who was arranging troops in southern Xinjiang to prepare for the upcoming war, was hurriedly ordered to return to the imperial city. With a look of confusion on his face, he had to run back quickly in a light carriage.

The civil and military officials didn't know what happened. They only knew that a dispute broke out between the second prince and the prince soon after he returned, and the two even started fighting.

According to the palace people present, the prince, who had always been gentle and polite, beat the second prince as if he wanted to kill him. The second prince was even more brave, and the two almost brought down the palace.

The Holy Emperor was furious and ordered his two sons to be grounded while they each reflected on their faults. Without his order, no one was allowed to touch the crown prince and the second prince.

In the morning, the angry look on His Majesty's face made all the officials tremble in fear. They became more and more curious about why the conflict between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince made His Majesty so angry.

Some rumors leaked out, saying that the second prince was so ambitious that he betrayed spies from the Qian Kingdom, just to shake the prince's prestige and win the approval of the Qian Kingdom through another war.

"Isn't it true? For the sake of the throne, the second prince actually collaborated with the enemy and treason? But if the country is gone, where will the second prince sit on the throne? It's so confusing!"

"The battle for the crown prince and the throne has always been terrible. It is not unusual for the second prince to do this. But looking at your majesty's posture, why does it look like you are trying to protect the second prince?"

"Tsk, if this is true, it's not an exaggeration to say that the Second Prince's car was broken. It shouldn't be just a grounding. Could it be that His Majesty was reluctant to kill the Second Prince, so he suppressed the news?"

While the people were talking a lot, Prince Ning smiled proudly. Hey, the prince pretends to be so friendly to his younger brother on weekdays. But at the critical moment, doesn't he want his younger brother to die?

The so-called royal family affection is nothing more than a joke. No matter how true it is, it will always be fake. The prince bit the second prince to death and caused an uproar. He just watched the show and reaped the benefits.

Prince Ning did not wait long before the prince took action. During the early court, some ministers impeached the second prince for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and he deserved to be punished. The emperor was so angry that he got angry on the spot and demoted the man's official position.

However, everything is just the beginning. More and more people are impeaching the second prince. Not to be outdone, the second prince's party also impeached the prince for malicious frame-up. Their intention is to be punished.

There was a great quarrel between civil and military officials in the court, and the imperial city was in turmoil. Prince Ning was enjoying himself with his new beauty, tasting fine wine and delicacies, as if he had seen the throne waving to him.

But before he could take any further action, the prince suddenly led his troops to surround Prince Ning's mansion.

The shocked Prince Ning looked at the unharmed second prince standing beside the prince. He still didn't know that his conspiracy had been exposed. But as long as he refused to admit it, there was nothing the Holy Emperor could do to him without complete evidence!

However, after teaming up with the second prince to put on a good show, how could the prince, who finally tore through Prince Ning's mask, act rashly with insufficient evidence?

Therefore, Prince Ning, who could not shed tears until he saw the coffin, was so angry that he vomited blood when he looked at the confessions of the officials he had bribed and the way his favorite beauty during this time respectfully saluted the second prince.

In fact, Prince Ning's plan would have definitely succeeded if it had been anyone else. Unfortunately, he underestimated the crown prince's trust in the second prince and the tacit understanding between the two brothers.

But the thing that surprised him the most was the trust that the Holy One had towards his two sons. He said that the second prince, who was otherwise fine, was colluding with the enemy and treason? The Holy One would never believe it. Someone must have framed him.

The second prince, who was trusted by his father and protected by his elder brother, finally understood that the recognition he had always wanted had already been obtained. He let go of his obsession and was willing to retreat to his elder brother's side and become his general to open up new territories.

On the night when the father and son had a fierce conflict in the eyes of outsiders, they actually talked all night long. Many things can always achieve the best results through effective communication.

The knot in their hearts was untied. Before the family could enjoy family happiness, they speculated on the identity of the person behind the instigation of brotherly strife. The emperor directly put the blame on Prince Ning.

One is that the Holy Emperor has been suspicious for a long time and has never relaxed his surveillance on Prince Ning. The other is that Prince Ning is too happy when the civil and military officials of the dynasty are worried about the royal family.

Then there was a fight between the prince and the second prince, which made the emperor heartbroken. Not only was King Ning deceived, but the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were also worried about it. The war was about to come, but would the royal family have internal strife?

It wasn't until Prince Ning was arrested and until the crimes committed by Prince Ning were revealed one by one that all the ministers realized that they had been deceived by the Holy One.

Not every crime committed by Prince Ning has substantial personal or material evidence, but the evidence is conclusive that he framed the prince, bewitched the prince, and provoked a dispute over the throne, which is enough to make him irrecoverable.

In order to save the face of the royal family, the Holy Emperor was too soft-hearted and demoted Prince Ning and his descendants to guard the imperial mausoleum. The female family members of Prince Ning returned home, or became nuns, or remarried far away.

Less than half a month after guarding the emperor's mausoleum, Prince Ning died of illness. It is said that he did not close his eyes and left with full of malice. The people who asked him to collect his body couldn't help but have nightmares after seeing it.

As soon as King Ning died, the turmoil in the imperial city subsided, and everyone focused their attention on the upcoming battle. Ning Xiao also returned to Liefeng Village at this time.

Ning Xiao's return made everyone in Liefeng Village very happy, while Yan Jiaojiao angrily told Ning Xiao what was happening in Wacheng and other places.

"It's hard to persuade a dead man with good words." Ning Xiao said without surprise after hearing this.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Ning Xiao dispatched manpower to be on guard around Wucheng. According to the development of the plot, the Fog Kingdom will send troops to attack soon.
